Excerpt from A Sketch of the Political State of Europe, at the Beginning of February, 1805
Europe, in the whole course of its history, has not been placed in a more extraordinary or critical position than that which it actually presents. Its first rise, its overthrow, and its reestablishment; the gradual advances of the arts and sciences towards perfection; their decay, and temporary loss; their subsequent revival, and progressive improvement; have all been recorded and explained.
